Empire Season 2 Adds Marisa Tomei as Lesbian Billionaire

Marisa Tomei is one of the latest movie stars visiting the small screen.

Tomei is joining Empire Season 2 as Mimi Whiteman, a venture capitalist, demanding in nature, who becomes involved in Lyon family drama. Mimi is a billionaire, a lover of hip hop music, social trends, high-end fashion and beautiful women.

Use your imagination to connect the dots between her character to the family drama!

Although rarely venturing into television, Empire isn't the only iron Tomei has in the fire. She's also developing a Gloria Steinem miniseries for HBO alongside George Clooney which she'll not only produce, but in which she'll star as the titular feminist.

Other guest stars coming to Empire this season include Chris Rock, Alicia Keys and Lenny Kravitz.
